So, I'm not finished with this book yet, but I have to return it to the library and I wanted to write down my thoughts about what I've read so far. This is a book I will buy! I think it is perfect for me since I'm a "non-runner" and training to do a half-marathon. I do plan to run a marathon some day, but I feel like it's not my season for that until my children are all in school and I will have more flexibility to get in all those miles of training runs. I LOVE the premise of the book, that anyone can run a marathon. You just have to want to do it and follow the training schedule! I have always thought it would be so cool to run a marathon. I ran a little bit in high school, but have never been a big runner. This book was written as a result of a college class in Iowa, called the marathon class. The professors called it a seminar in fitness and mental health. It became wildly popular and had huge waiting lists to get in, members of the community auditing it and at the end of the class, everyone ran a marathon. So, one of the students a 37 year old woman decided to get the professors to collaborate and this book is the result. She interviewed a lot of the participants and each chapter is divided up into 3 sections: 1-the mental aspect, 2-the physical challenges, and 3-runners real life experiences. Each chapter represents a week of the training schedule. So, I LOVED this little blurb from one of the runners journals, she says, "Today there were times during the run when I started to hurt and waves of discouragement would hit me. When that happened I did what Dave said to do. Instead of whipping myself with a "Buck up you weeny" mental tongue lashing, I said, "Oh, there you are, pain; I've been waiting for you. Come run with me." The wash of relief I felt was immediate, profound, and invigorating. All the tension left my shoulders and gut. The ache in my knees and hips changed from one of external painful assault to one of internal friendly companion. My knees still ached, but it was OK. I watched my feet and enjoyed the sensation of flexing the joint in order to propel each foot forward. The sensation of movement was compelling and motivating. I like the metaphor of running for dealing with problems in life. I loved her attitude of saying hello to the pain or the trials and inviting them on the journey, rather than whipping myself for my faults or weaknesses. I definitely have tried her advice as I run and say hello to my foot pain when it comes and invite it to run with me, because I'm not stopping! I"m also trying to do this in my life. GREAT BOOK!!! I would recommend it to anyone who has a desire to run a marathon!
